Hi, I'm Alexandra! You may remember me from the video series The Home Primp. I am no longer working on that series, but I'm bringing you lots of new and fresh content on this channel!
When it comes to rental kitchens, my friends Ed and Noelle lucked out. But there are a few common issues that they experience that almost every renter does too — stained counters, cabinets and knobs that look a little worn out and shelving that just doesn’t match the rest of the kitchen. They gave me $100 to completely transform their rental kitchen. You don’t need to gut your rent kitchen to make it look stylish. Instead, spend a little money and update the things you have to work with. I’m here to show you how!

If you live in a small space and own a cat, you know finding a place to put the litter box can be a challenge. This IKEA Ivar hack is the perfect place to store your cat's litter, while providing extra storage (not to mention a beautiful piece of decor.) In this episode of the Home Primp, Alexandra shows you how to hack the Ikea Ivar cabinet into a kitty litter box, and sets out to transform a cramped, uninspiring and teeny tiny open-concept condo living/dining room. She gets rid of a dining table that just wasn't fitting and re-purposes the bar into an eating area to save space, installs wall shelves to put dried goods on display and makes the living room cozy with art and wall storage.
